DESCRIPTION The active ingredient in ATROVENT (ipratropium bromide) Inhalation Aerosol is ipratropium bromide. It is an anticholinergic bronchodilator chemically described as 8azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]-octane, 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxo-2-phenylpropoxy)-8-methyl-8-(1methylethyl)-, bromide, monohydrate (endo,syn)-,(±): a synthetic quaternary ammonium compound chemically related to atropine. The structural fo...

A useful pharmaceutical intermediate, 5-nitromethyl-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (1), was prepared in one step from 1,7-dichloro-4-heptanone (4) under mild conditions. Catalytic hydrogenation of 1 over Raney Ni in the presence of sodium hydroxide afforded 5-aminomethyl-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane (2) in high yield. Piracetam analogues 20-23, which were pyrrolidine derivatives involving a 1-azabicycl...

The relationship between the binding of sodium n-dodecyl sulphate and protons to histone H1 has been investigated by equilibrium dialysis and titrimetry. The data cover the pH range 3.2-10 and surfactant concentrations up to 3.0×10-3 mol dm-3. A theoretical approach based on the binding potential concept of Wyman is presented and has been used to make estima...

Symmetrical and asymmetrical cyclopropenones with diferrocenyl, diaryl and aryl-ferrocenyl substituents were obtained and their chemical behavior was studied. 1-Ethoxy-2,3-diarylcyclopropenylium terafluoroborate selectively reacts with MeLi, n-BuLi with formation of the 3,3-dialkyl-1,2-diarylcyclopropenes. The structures of 2,3-bis(4methoxyphenyl) cyclopropenone (10), 2-ferrocenyl-3-(4-methoxyp...

Tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) is an important extractant for heavy metal ions. The microscopic structure of TBP/n-octane mixtures as a function of concentration of TBP is examined through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. A weak association between TBP molecules both in pure TBP as well as in the octane solution is established. In dilute TBP/n-octane solutions, TBP molecules are inhomogen...

We describe convenient preparations of N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminium chlorides, N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdimines, and lithium N,N′-dialkyl-1,3-propanedialdiminates in which the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, or tert-butyl. For dialdiminium salts, N2C3 backbone is always trans-s-trans configuration. Three isomers present solution except for tert-butyl compound, only two pre...

The use of non-supported Fe nanoparticles in the hydrogenation of unsaturated C-C bonds is a green catalytic concept at the frontier between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. Iron nanoparticles can be obtained by reducing Fe salts with strong reductants in various solvents. FeCl(3) reduced by 3 equivalents of EtMgCl forms an active catalyst for the hydrogenation of a range of olefins and...

The capacities to inhibit coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity of human cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6) by organosulfur compounds were evaluated. Five dialkyl sulfides and five dialkyl disulfides, with alkyl chains from methyl to amyl, were examined. In addition to these chemicals, diallyl sulfide, diallyl disulfide, allyl methyl sulfide, allyl n-propyl sulfide, allyl phenyl sulfide, diphenyl sulfide, ...
